Just a guess...there is a ceramic material in the library...try to whiten it up a little and add some emissive layer.

... since the emitter layer is in front of all layers and hide they you must set the emissive layer transparent (f.ex. at 90% --> ~ (240,240,240)) and increase the intensity until it looks fine.

I know i'm new here, so I really hate to ask this:

Where do I set the layer transparency?

Re: material used for the light bulbs on homepage

Each layer at a material support a transparency (color). If you set white (255,255,255) than it means 100% transparency (for each color channel R-G-B).

thanks for refreshing my poor memory micha

however, the tweaking is a pain - too high emitter = no decal is showing, too low = no emitter effect on groundplane

what am I forgetting
